Chapter 269: Computer Standardization
"Lao Li, I really didn't expect to see you here!" At about eight o'clock in the night, a small snowflake fell in the sky again, after a day of research activities, and just after the end of the technical seminar on related equipment in the conference room of the Central Plains Electronic Radar Institute, Liu Haotian Lu Jiadong of the artillery radar research and development leading group, and Li Ming, the former deputy director of the Guixi Provincial Department of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, and the current director of the Naval Research Institute, returned to the guest house together, but did not rest immediately.
Instead, they sat together and talked about the past when they were in Guixi, after all, the three of them are old acquaintances, and the time they have worked together in Guixi is not short, and some things during the period are enough to make them unforgettable for life, with Li Ming and Liu Haotian transferred away one after another, the three of them have not seen each other for more than a year, and now they met by chance in this Central Plains Electronic Radar Institute for the relevant supporting electronic equipment, and the three of them are naturally very happy.
It's just that he is busy with research and work during the day, so he doesn't have time to sit down and chat in detail, and now that he finally has leisure time at night, the three old acquaintances naturally want to sit down and talk about the old days, no, Liu Haotian just helped Li Ming fill a cup of tea and leaned back on his seat, looked at Li Ming and continued with a smile:
"I haven't seen you this year, but you're getting more and more energetic!"
"I see that your old Liu is also getting more and more energetic!" As soon as Liu Haotian's voice fell, Li Ming's eyes behind the thick glasses had already narrowed into a slit with a smile, and his slightly fatter and redder face was even more joyful and said to Liu Haotian with a happy smile:
"If I hadn't seen you today, I really didn't know that your old Liu was actually a chief!"
Since he was transferred back to the General Staff and served as the director of the Third Bureau in charge of military trade, the veil of mystery surrounding Liu Haotian has been revealed, and Li Ming, who has returned to the army and served as the head of an important scientific research institution of the Navy, has naturally learned about this situation, not to mention that after the two took up their new posts, the exchange of letters has not been interrupted.
Therefore, Li Ming can be said to have known about this matter a long time ago, and the reason why he said this was just a joke of old friends meeting each other! Liu Haotian naturally knew this, so he drank two sips of hot tea beside him, and then looked at Li Ming beside him and responded with a smile:
"It's not the same as you, it's all needed for work!"
"Need for work?" listened to Liu Haotian's words. Li Ming's eyebrows raised upward. raised his head at Lu Jiadong on the opposite side and asked rhetorically:
"Keeping Xiao Lu by your side all day long is also a work need?"
"Of course!" Liu Haotian replied without hesitation, and there was an inexplicable show off in his words: "Xiao Lu's ability." But the talents that our three bureaus urgently need, do you think they are needed for work?"
"That being the case. Tomorrow, I will also ask Commander Jiang for instructions and ask him to come forward and seconded Xiao Lu to our Naval Research Institute, because our Navy also lacks talents like Xiao Lu. We are also required for work!"
"Alas~ I said Lao Li, it's not right for you to dig the foot of the wall like this!" Li Ming's voice just fell. Liu Haotian straightened up from the chair in an instant, and a nervous look flashed on his face, while Li Ming, who was sitting next to him, saw Liu Haotian's fleeting nervous expression. A bright smile appeared on his face in an instant, and he saw Li Ming's smiling face. How could Liu Haotian not understand what Li Ming was thinking, so he suddenly realized:
"I really didn't expect that you haven't seen Lao Li for more than a year. How can you learn to be such a chicken thief."
"I didn't learn it from Lao Li in Guixi, I just learned it by life!" As soon as Li Ming's voice was closed, he laughed with Liu Haotian beside him, and the laughter gradually fell, Li Ming turned his head to look at Lu Jiadong, who had been smiling but did not say a word, and looked up and down carefully again, remembering that the childish face on the boat back then was not the same as the slightly weathered mature and stable face in front of him, so Li Ming couldn't help but nod and sighed:
"I haven't seen you for more than a year, Xiao Lu, you are more mature than before, needless to say, the new long-range artillery sales of portable rocket launchers to Pakistan have not only made up for many gaps in the country, but also created a precedent for many military industrial systems, not only that, Xiao Lu, your vision and insight are also higher than ordinary people, I really didn't expect it at this point!"
"Director Li, you are really"
"As soon as I praised you twice, the old mistake will be made again!" Before Lu Jiadong finished speaking, Li Ming frowned lightly, but the kind smile on his face did not change in the slightest:
"If everything has been improved, shouldn't this humble fault also be changed?"
Listening to Li Ming's words, Lu Jiadong didn't answer again, just smiled and didn't say anything, but Li Ming, who was sitting opposite him, didn't stop the rhythm of speaking, and continued to smile at Lu Jiadong and sighed:
"Xiao Lu, the concept of computer standardization and generalization that you just put forward at the technical seminar is indeed of great reference and practical significance, not to mention anything else, take the ocean-going survey ship project we are currently underway, which has quite a lot of observation equipment, and the computers used are even more diverse in size and complex in structure.
Not only that, even if the same model is not the same manufacturer's equipment, the appearance and structure are different, as for the interface and other link systems are even more varied, which makes us have to invest in the production of a batch of customized interface connections, so what Xiao Lu said is indeed very practical!"
The concept of the so-called standardization and generalization of computer systems mentioned by Li Ming was put forward by Lu Jiadong at the just-concluded technical seminar, and this is also one of the many improvements and development directions proposed by Lu Jiadong after visiting the new DJP-140 computer produced by the Zhongyuan Electronic Radar Factory.
Li Ming, who came to the Zhongyuan Electronic Radar Institute and related manufacturers to inspect the marine computer specially equipped for ocean-going survey ships, gave high praise and support to a series of suggestions put forward by Lu Jiadong, and in addition to Li Ming's great trust in Lu Jiadong, the most important thing is that the suggestions put forward by Lu Jiadong correspond to the problems he encountered in his practical work.
It is precisely because of this that Li Ming so unconditionally supported Lu Jiadong's improvement proposals, and this also prompted the Naval Research Institute and the Artillery Radar Development Group to cooperate with each other to jointly promote the DJP-140 computer-based general standardization improvement project of supporting equipment that is indispensable to both sides!
Therefore, when Li Ming turned the topic to the computer, Lu Jiadong couldn't help but nodded: "Not only the navy, but also the army and the air force, the same computer can be used by the radar of the air force and the ships of the navy, but often because of different standards, the computer is repeatedly developed and produced, not to mention the upgrading and transformation of equipment, and all this wastes valuable funds and resources."
What's more, it will also have an extremely serious impact on logistics maintenance and combat effectiveness, so I think that there must be a unified and easy-to-use standard for basic supporting equipment such as computers, so as to avoid redundant construction and waste of resources, so as to save money!"
Lu Jiadong said that the standardization of computers, it seems to be very high, in fact, it is very simple, that is, to make the computer operation simpler, maintenance more convenient, take the computer interface as an example, the computer at this time is very individual, different computer interfaces are strange, varied, not at all like the later generations of computers have a unified interface standard.
Only a few data lines can be used to link all the required equipment, and what Lu Jiadong proposed is to improve the existing computers and other linked equipment in accordance with a series of standardized methods such as the unified interface of later computers, so as to achieve faster and easier equipment operation and maintenance and future upgrades, so as to enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops!
Both Liu Haotian and Li Ming have been working in the military industry for many years, so they naturally know the importance of this point of view put forward by Lu Jiadong.
"Therefore, our cooperation with the Navy this time is just to pave a way for reference for the development of similar equipment in the future!"
But as he spoke, Liu Haotian's brows couldn't help frowning, and he said to Lu Jiadong worriedly: "Xiao Lu, you must know that the development of our artillery radar can be described as a tight time and heavy task, and it is not difficult for the current computer to retransform the interface, but do you have high requirements for the relevant performance indicators? I think the current computer size and performance are already very suitable, since it cannot be integrated into a car, then we can use a trailer to pull it!"
"Yes, Xiao Lu!" As soon as Liu Haotian's words fell, Li Ming, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but raise his head to look at Lu Jiadong opposite, a pair of thick eyebrows were deeply twisted together, and then with a kind of care from the elders to the juniors, he comforted Lu Jiadong:
"Lao Liu is right, the computer you proposed at the meeting should be smaller and faster, maybe it can be achieved in the next few years, but it is difficult to complete in the current technical conditions, and your radar project is already a heavy task, so I think that high-tech equipment like this, first solve the problem, and then continue to improve and improve on this basis, if the indicators are too high, it is easy to lead to the whole project into a deadlock!"
The requirement for computer miniaturization and further improvement of computing power was also put forward by Lu Jiadong at the seminar, and at that time he only got the support of Zhong Xiaomo's student Song Xiaoxu, and the other participants were a little noncommittal, and now in the guest house where he rested, in the face of the persuasion of the two leaders, Lu Jiadong's heart was also in a dilemma, and a pair of lying silkworm eyebrows gradually wrinkled together (to be continued.
